Younger Brothcr--Sad Music Recon-.
mended-~Avoid Laughing ut T:is Funny
stories--Other Plans.
Do5ToE, Feb. -. 1857.
an. NvE-I have enjoyed ell your writings in
The Globe ever go much, and noticing that you
have given great deal OF advice fee, thought
that possibly you would tcu mo Che beet method
Of getting ria of On impairment young man,
whose room is much preferable 70 hs company
Hoping that 7 do not intrlde your valuabls
.ime Yours truly, --
You DO not say why you wish TO get rid
OF the young man, nor do you state what
Is the matter with him; whether be IS q
poor ConvCrsGtiOnalist or too fluent IN that
line; whether the first two joints OF lis
finger and thumb are yellow with ciCCr-
cite stains, or what his leading character
istics are Possibly he has fatty degoacr-
alton OF the thinker.
However, you soy he IS an inpudcnt
young mon, and ! infer that You have
gone through the prclimnarics OF ccnuc
scorn and such things as that Now,
what shall we do 10 make him fully I'M
derstand that you do not want him TO re-
mainy
Perhaps you have such o thing or a
younger brother about the house, If So,
bring hiu I'm and Let him toy with the
ycuIg ran a few hours. NcU can excuse
youI II while you o.ton~.lly Iut On Your
other dress and If you tclay long enough
you can cause The young man great deal
of intense suffering. You can take the
right kind Of Younger brother, with in
hammCtCry hair ana white eyes and warts
on his thumbs and season cracks in the
backs Of his hands and If you properly
''sick' thc 10y on his prey and fasten the
door securely you cGn come back i'm an
hour and do anything You want 10 with
that young man. ] know this to le true,
FOR have been the young man myself.
have also been the boy.
OTHER INpICNITITs.
1 have known q young man Who In
tested house that way To bc cradicctca
by means Of very sad music They oonot
die in the house.
Another plan would be to avoid laugh
ing at his funny anecdotes Wait till he
gets through with his anccdoto and looks
up I'm your eyes for n twinkle Of merri-
mort That is tie time TO refrain from
twrkliug. Wait TN Ec Gets TO the nuh
Cf tie joke, as 10 were, and lricls MP lis
ears to listen fer q Wild burst Of silyCry
l8ucltor. That is The time t1 hang on %
your livery l-ushtcr II VIII give li,u
panied expression Of coUntcDa1cc. and
you viii s.e him soon after looI 40 us
<etch When lie completes h's story
tilcnly wake up and o-k him if thar is
Gu. Few men can endure this FOR over
two weeks
OF course there are other and more
radical methods Il accomplishing the re-
suit you wish, but these are tAecuos more
common in the best society. / naturally
supposed thar you wanted thc methods
m "a .
have gone elsewhere instead OF coming
to me.
Should you finally wish 10 be more Sc
we're, however, you can invite % young
girl to be present during the young mans
stay. l would suggest that this young
girl be a fluent talker on the subject Of
clothes. If you both keep the talk going
pretty well while the young man looks 1T
the album or eazes with a fixed stare
through a stcreoscOpe that hash any pic
lures in II, YOU viii soon have his pucAy-
dermic pclt on the fence.
\ PARE POSSIBILITY.
But there is O. bare possibility that this
young man is in love with you, and would
think it humorous even If you were 70 I'll
him full of fine shot. Ia that case dc
not know what you ought to do. Love is
a strange niseive. 1t goes where ID Is
not sent and it refuses to 60 where 1t is
sent
If you could get him away by himself,
It would be well enough, perhaps, to ask
him If he loves you. That's the way
would do. The quicker q matter OK that
kind Is disposed Of the better. Ask him
in manly way if such f. the case, and If
he really docs love you, and has reason e.
believe that you were paying attention 81
him all this time, you cann0, Ia honor de-
sert him now.
Do not be discouraged Let me know
how you get on with the suggestions
have made above and l an confident we
will succeed.
Have you ever tried wearing o large,
\ tall hat with stuffed bluejay in 81 60 tho
| theatre and sitting in tho seat just -
front Of nimg Try It If you have not done
so already, and if you do not set r!d Of
him, Is well "a n great number Of law
abiding citizens write me and l VIII sug'
gest something else.
Yours, truly, I'LL RYE.
